Chapter 508: Chapter 296: It's Not That I'm Fond of the North Prince, It's That You Don't Understand Him_3
While Wu Junwan was lost in thought, Yue Emperor slowly lay down, holding her, "Alright, let's end the discussion on state affairs here and get some rest early."
Wu Junwan hummed in agreement and spoke no further.
Soon, the two beautiful women's soft bodies were pressed tightly together as they embraced each other and entered the land of dreams.
...
At the same time.
In the North Country, New North Prince Mansion.
Noises continuously emanated from Dongfang Longyue's room, but thanks to the new construction of the North Prince Mansion, which differed from the old one, the rooms now had glass windows, providing excellent sound insulation.
Only faint noises were audible in the outer courtyard, and unless the windows were opened, those walking through the hallway would have no clue about what was happening inside Dongfang Longyue's room.
Lu Chen lifted his hand and gently toyed with the moist locks of hair on Dongfang Longyue's cheek. At this moment, Dongfang Longyue's face was flushed, and her forehead was covered in a dense layer of sweat.
Lu Chen lifted his chest and, while gazing at Dongfang Longyue's beautiful visage, said, "Actually, even if you married into the North Prince Mansion, I could still arrange a job that you like for you."
Upon hearing this, a groggy Dongfang Longyue asked, "Prince... what job are you talking about?"
Lu Chen, while keeping busy with his own matters, replied, "The North Prince's Mansion plans to establish a newspaper. After you leave the Eastern Newspaper Agency, you could come and manage the newspaper of the North Prince Mansion."
At these words, Dongfang Longyue was stunned. She hadn't expected that the North Prince was planning to create a newspaper. Catching her breath, she asked, "Huff... huff... Prince, did you establish this newspaper just for me?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "That's not the case. I had long planned to expand the North Prince Mansion's influence by creating another newspaper; it's just that I hadn't realized it yet."
"Think it over. If you agree, you could marry into the North Prince Mansion with Wang Qingci in about half a month when I take a concubine. You have half a month to decide."
With eyes brimming with unshed tears, Dongfang Longyue looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Prince... I wouldn't dare to... guess your intentions, I just want... uh... to know... do you wish for me to formally marry into the North Prince Mansion after half a month, or...
ah..."
Dongfang Longyue let out a soft cry and did not finish her sentence.
Even though Dongfang Longyue hadn't clarified her question, Lu Chen already understood what she wanted to know. He immediately said, "I am not demanding that you marry into the Prince's Mansion in half a month, nor will I become angry over your decision. Since you're already my woman, I will respect whatever choice you make."
"If you decide to continue staying at the Eastern Newspaper Agency, then so be it. I will first establish a newspaper for the North Prince Mansion, and when you are ready to accept the status later, I will hand over the newspaper agency of the North Prince Mansion to you."
Dongfang Longyue said, "Thank you... so much, Prince..."
Lu Chen revealed a slight smile and placed his hand heavily upon her, "Are you still calling me Prince?"
Dongfang Longyue's cheeks reddened, unsure of how she should address him.
Lu Chen continued, "My lady, call me 'darling' and let's hear how that sounds."
At that moment, Dongfang Longyue's mind was in a muddle, and as if possessed, she called out, "Dar... darling..."
Dongfang Longyue now understood what she had witnessed in the Prince's Mansion earlier that day.
No wonder the Queen was so kind to her.
And no wonder the women of the North Prince Mansion got along so harmoniously.
In other mansions, women would inevitably scheme and vie for favor, seeing each other as rivals in their eyes.
But the North Prince Mansion was entirely different.
If there were any women fighting for favor in the North Prince Mansion, they probably could not withstand the favoritism from Lu Chen, who was already a Grandmaster, and not just an ordinary one at that.
The Queen of the North Prince was merely an ordinary person. How could an ordinary person compete with Lu Chen, the Grandmaster?
It's not just ordinary people, even Martial Artists were not Lu Chen's match. Thus, the North Prince's Mansion's scenario was that all of the North Prince's women united against Lu Chen, this mischievous rascal, which is also why the women of the North Prince Mansion appeared so united and harmonious.
Dawn.
Lu Chen drowsily opened his eyes.
As soon as he did so, he found a breathtakingly beautiful face watching him.
Dongfang Longyue had already awakened since she was the chief editor of the Eastern Newspaper Agency and had to go there today to supervise and review the news drafts. Thus, she woke up quite early.
However, after waking up, she did not dare to make any movement. At that moment, Lu Chen was still leaning on her, holding her in his embrace, and seemed to be sleeping soundly.
After spending the night together, she had wholly accepted Lu Chen; the only thought in her heart was that the Son of Destiny truly was irresistible.
Seeing Dongfang Longyue's eyes fixated on him, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep last night. I hope I didn't crush you."
Dongfang Longyue replied, "The Prince can do as he pleases, I am fine."
Suddenly remembering Dongfang Longyue had to go to the agency today, Lu Chen immediately got out of bed and said, "You have to go to the agency today, so I won't hold you up any longer."
As Lu Chen got up, Dongfang Longyue immediately felt much cooler and she also hurriedly got out of bed and said, "Prince, let me dress you."
Lu Chen did not refute; he simply got off the bedstead.
With Dongfang Longyue's help, Lu Chen got dressed and left her room.
Watching Lu Chen's departing figure, the corners of Dongfang Longyue's mouth couldn't help but curve upward. Suddenly she felt somewhat fortunate; thank goodness she hadn't chosen one of those poets and scholars to marry back when she was in the South; otherwise, she might not have been able to become the North Prince's woman today.
Although the North Prince was somewhat licentious, his excellence was unmatched. She was one hundred percent satisfied with the North Prince.
Once Lu Chen's figure had completely disappeared from Dongfang Longyue's sight, she finally snapped back to the reality that she had to go to the agency today. She hurriedly had her maids bring hot water for a bath, and after quickly dressing up, she headed for the Eastern Newspaper Agency.
